Minister for Transport (Deputy Noel Dempsey)

The Cycle to Work Scheme is optional and participation in it is a matter for decision by individual employers in accordance with guidance from the Revenue Commissioners under the direction of the Department of Finance. My Department has no information in relation to take up of the scheme in the local authority sector.
